Trump Towers Istanbul

Turkey

The 1019th tallest building in the world

m

Trump Towers Istanbul are two conjoined skyscrapers in Şişli, Istanbul, Turkey. One of the towers is an office tower, and the other a residential tower, consisting of over 200 residences. The complex also holds a shopping mall with some 80 shops and a multiplex cinema. They are the first Trump Towers built on the European continent. The property developer is Turkish billionaire Aydın Doğan, in a license-partnership with American businessman (later U.S. President) Donald Trump. His daughter Ivanka Trump took part in the promotion and sales of the residences in 2007, 2008 and 2009 and attended the April 2012 launch with her father Donald Trump and Turkish Prime Minister (later President) Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Many businesses based in Europe and the Middle East occupy the complex, which was designed by Austrian architect Brigitte Weber. The original license holder was Miami-based developer Adi Chabli. Chabli originally brought Trump to Turkey and held the license, prior to negotiating and subsequently transferring it to Doğan Holding. The residential tower includes the only collective wine cellar in Turkey, the cellar being built by Focus Wine Cellars. Among the buildings' prominent tenants is Iranian-born businessman Reza Zarrab.
